Kiffin Holds Off on NFL Signees | LSU Tigers Football News

Lane Kiffin held off adding former NFL players DaeQuan Wright and Zxavian Harris to LSU’s opening game roster, despite a judge’s preliminary approval, citing risks to the program under NCAA eligibility rules. The duo, who played for Kiffin at Ole Miss last season, were part of the 2022 class exempt from new age-based eligibility guidelines. Kiffin, speaking on College GameDay, expressed empathy for the players but prioritized LSU’s long-term interests after consulting leadership. The SEC threatens severe penalties—including suspensions and budget cuts—for schools adding pros, and has sued LSU and Kiffin. With two roster spots still open, the door remains open for Wright and Harris to join later as legal and conference disputes unfold.
